Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 662 The Snakey Bird

When Vritra gains the ability to unleash every one of his skills, even gods or those superior entities will amount to nothing.

Titan Fall happened to be among a Titan's abilities too, bestowing tremendous power upon the Titan at moments of perceived threat.

Titans could activate it at will and simply required a period of recovery afterward, in contrast to Vritra employing it as a demonic dragon.

Fortunately, he had already acquired Divine's bloodline and physique by then.

Witnessing Vritra's increasing power, Divine experienced a sense of relief, since forging a Titan was almost unattainable.

His achievement stemmed from Vritra and his personal brilliance.

'It seems I've largely fulfilled my role here; this avatar of mine won't endure much longer. I can assist him a little more, yet that avatar will remain by his side.'

Divine pondered while glancing at the rest of the group.

He spun around and soared off, as those annoying pests refused to give him peace.

His true form had turned into his own adversary, prompting Divine to let out a sigh.

…

Vanessa, Yasmine, and the rest suffered wounds in the brief clash, although nothing severe.

With Diana present, their injuries mended rapidly.

"That tornado is swallowing up tons of mutants!!" Yennefer cried out, desperately wishing for Vritra's safety.

"Perhaps their blood serves as nourishment for hubby? I believe he'll be okay, but we should remain cautious anyway." Yasmine replied, her gaze locked on him.

The group found themselves forced to retreat further as the tornado expanded relentlessly.

Vritra's bloodline had instinctively triggered one of his inherent skills.

Similar to his power to absorb others' physiques, he possessed the capacity to consume bloodlines, lifeforce, and blood directly.

A massive mutant with a humanoid form charged into the tornado in an attempt to claim the blood.

Yet its hands were ripped apart immediately, followed by its mouth, and in mere seconds, its entire form vanished.

The sight left everyone stunned; that enormous mutant had been obliterated in an instant.

The Ascension Path leaves no impact on anyone's stats; it not only unlocks routes for advanced evolution and change but also bestows enhanced capabilities.

Yasmine and the others had retreated about ten kilometers from the tornado, which continued to intensify.

Thunder boomed across the sky, bolts of electricity flashing through the gloomy clouds, while the snowfall ceased completely throughout the city.

Snow covering vast expanses on the ground had already been whisked away.

Abruptly, darkness fell like nighttime, with thunder crashing and lightning striking in a thunderous blast.

It appeared potent enough to slay anyone; the nine of them had to seek shelter beneath a structure.

They observed the tornado anxiously, yet possessed no means to aid him.

THUNDEERRRRRRRRR!!

Abruptly, a particularly horrifying, massive, and potent streak of lightning plunged straight into the tornado's heart.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

An immense detonation echoed, causing dozens of buildings to tremble fiercely, akin to trees battered by gales.

Not a single window remained unbroken across the whole city, though oddly, this lightning didn't feel ordinary.

The tornado got torn asunder by the lightning strike, leaving behind a colossal crater in the earth.

"Honeyyy!!" Vanessa's heart quivered with terror, fearing that this bolt might have seriously injured her son.

They all rushed ahead without delay, but after barely ten steps, a ground-shaking cry echoed through the air.

KRRRRRIIEEEEKKKKKK!

A shadowy outline emerged in the heavens, far larger than any mutant they'd encountered, as it unfurled its wings.

Then it swooped down.

The gusts from its wings hurled debris aside, ultimately unveiling its true shape.

It turned out to be a gigantic mutant bird, but beyond the wings, it bore little resemblance to a bird.

Its form resembled a serpent more, featuring a lengthy beak and enormous fearsome talons, with a body exceeding 30 feet in length.

"Wha-!!" Their bodies froze instinctively for an instant; this creature exuded extreme peril.

Deadlier than any horror they'd faced in this apocalyptic world.

Next, the mutant snapped at something and gulped it down, emitting another piercing screech before vanishing skyward with a powerful wing beat.

Maeve and the others snapped from their daze, their spirits plummeting as they dashed to where Vritra ought to be.

"H- He is gone…?" Yennefer whispered, eyes bulging and chest constricting.

"That m- mutant must have snatched him!" Teresa burst out, gnawing her lip until it ached.

"It headed that way; if we speed up, we could track it. I doubt the pitiful one would perish so easily." Shitless declared, his mutant visage brimming with assurance.

"…" Vanessa gave a nod, and they scanned the area, soon spotting the mutant wolves and their carriages.

During the tornado's emergence, the wolves had wisely retreated on their own.

Climbing into the carriages, they raced toward Riverdel at maximum velocity.

Did that city harbor such lethal beasts? This entity had transformed into something utterly beyond comprehension.

"Mom, don't fret; hubby will pull through." Yasmine reassured, even as her hands trembled.

Since most mutants had fallen earlier, none assaulted them during their advance.

"Our strength has boosted too!" Maeve noted in astonishment; Vritra had slain numerous mutants before.

Apparently, he, and they with him, had reaped the rewards from it.

"Our mutation nears 100%, yet how can we possibly confront that bird?"

Despair and helplessness gripped them, but for now, all they could manage was faith in Vritra and pursuit of the creature.

***

Within Riverdel City, sizable factions and alliances had formed a month or two following the apocalypse's onset.

Those who progressed swiftly and wielded potent abilities rose as leaders; some proved benevolent, while others turned despotic.

The settlement where Vritra and his companions landed ranked among the farthest from the tower, resulting in slower evolution.

Due to the feebler mutants, which explained why Divine chose to deposit the group there.

He might have transported them nearer to the tower outright, but aside from the risk of detection, instant death awaited them all.

Several players had already ascended to frightful strengths, not to mention the mutants and scarce humans on this world.

They received unique powers to challenge the players effectively.

As a level 3 game, the difficulty soared high, with perils even greater.

Beside a tree, two factions clashed in a brutal skirmish.

One wore crimson attire, the opposing side donned violet.

A fruit-resembling stone hung from a branch, emitting a soft glow.

Both humans and mutants kept their distance from it.

Humans battled each other, while mutants skirmished among their kind, as though bound by an unspoken pact.

"Ergen, we've guarded it for a full month now, so step back!!" a red-clad man bellowed.

"Grrr As if mere guarding claims ownership. Then I watched over my childhood friend for a decade, served as her attendant, endured her frustrations as a punching bag—weren't you the one who ultimately claimed her?

Hand over your wife, and I'll relinquish this Ascension Path." The man in blue garb retorted in a gruff tone.
